Moffat and District
Wildlife Club was formed in 1961 by a group of local enthusiasts. Since
then the club has gone from strength to strength and membership is steadily
increasing.
The club runs Dyke
Farm Nature Reserve, on the outskirts of Moffat, where you can find
a prodigious variety of wildlife and is well worth a visit. A number
of nesting boxes are also maintained in various other locations around
the district.
A club
Newsletter is published quarterly. This contains full details of all
club activities, recent sightings of interest and articles about wildlife.
The Newsletter is obtainable from Grieves, Newsagents, High Street,
Moffat, for the modest price of £1.00. For those outside the Moffat
area, copies can be mailed (p&p extra) - contact Iain for details.
Membership for the year is £10 per individual (£18 for two adults at
the same address), free for those under 16 yearsof age, and is open
to all, not just "locals".
Members meet monthly in Moffat Town Hall during the winter season (September
to March inclusive), normally on the second Friday of the month, at
7.30pm to enjoy guest speakers presenting wildlife slide or film shows. Visitors
are very welcome at the meetings, entrance fee £2.50 payable at the
door (under 16's free). These meetings are completely informal, suited
to beginners and experts alike. During the interval tea/coffee is available
and there is plenty opportunity to talk with friends and guests. A selection
of nestboxes, feeders and bird food is always available for purchase
at the meetings.
